BSG Piano Book Videos

May 3rd, 2011

My long-awaited “Battlestar Galactica” Piano Music Book is finally available, thanks to Hal Leonard and Universal Music Publishing. To celebrate the release, I have started an official YouTube Channel for fan-made “BSG” music performances: http://www.youtube.com/bearmccreary

Every two weeks, I will upload a new video of me performing a piece from the “BSG” Piano Music Book, at my own living room piano. Let’s kick off with one of my favorites, “Prelude to War:”

This channel isn’t just for me. You are all invited to take part in this “online living room concert.” If you create a YouTube video of your own “BSG” music performance, I want to feature it. Just post a link to your video in the comments section in this blog entry, or email it to us at “staff @ bearmccreary .com.”

I anticipate some beautiful performances, as I’ve already seen in some fan videos. But I’m also looking for creative folks who will reinterpret this material in a unique or entertaining way.

Can you play a “BSG” song on an instrument other than piano? Can anyone out there tackle a duet of “Kara Remembers?” Or a rock band performance of “Pegasus?” There’s plenty of room for inventive performances here.

And who knows? I just may give away some autographed music memorabilia to the creators of my favorite videos at the end of the summer. :)

The piano book is available now from Amazon.com. Digital downloads of each song are available from Sheet Music Direct. So… what are you waiting for? Get out your camera and shoot a video!
